Safety and Security Measures

The Alabama National Fair’s security program will include the aid of metal detectors and bag checks at all entry gates. Bags, purses, coolers and packages will be subject to search at each gate. Prohibited items include weapons, pocket knives, fireworks, alcoholic beverages, drones and bike/skateboards/skates/hover boards (these items will be taken and will NOT be returned, so please leave these items at home or in your vehicle). Other items may be refused at the discretion of the Alabama National Fair management or police. The Fair has also adjusted safety procedures in several other areas including security staffing levels, vehicle access, traffic management and video.

Use or possession of alcoholic beverages is prohibited on fairgrounds. Intoxicated persons may be refused entrance or excluded by police.
